What's that, you say? Record deficit!

Ha! They haven't seen nothing yet. We didn't even have a war in 1982 but the defense dept got big, beautiful amounts and some people, I wonder who, got big tax cuts.

God Works in Strange Ways

-
  The war of words has been renewed. Who got it wrong, who got it right? Got us arguing again amongst ourselves ( or is anybody really   listening besides them that are paid to argue ? ) between the CIA and the NSA . All I can say is god works in strange ways and sometimes gives the edge to the fascist. Did God produce Hitler (don't you get tired hearing about him) to give the Jews a wakeup call? Go thou and get the sacred land and I'll make sure though there will be travails but not much more than that. I imagine god saying that to Netanyahu's dad.. But nothing can be perfect in an imperfect world.   By the way, I'm reading about the cosmos as interpreted by Stephen hawking. he consistently reiterates the fact that all our beliefs, scientific and spiritual are prodded along with the support of one or the other for instance when the Catholic Church finally came out of the science closet and supports the Big bang theory, saying it does coincide with the Bible rend...

Glory Be, Hallelujah, So Be It

 Since Harvard and everybody else is suing trump, I'm wondering who's doling out the lawsuit awards, trump or the american people? I'm also wondering why nobody but me recognizes mental illness as the main personality trait of our government. What concerns me is it seems to be catching. People such as marco Rubio or J D Vance or Mike Johnson (and I could name many More but won't, you know who they are) used to be just political assholes but give an asshole *and a boy* power and suddenly they don't make any sense at all, just like the cult leader they follow. It's not a matter of the emperor wearing no clothes though he would probably prefer it that way, but is the emperor a complete assimilation of nero-like and a number of other wild-eyed greek, roman, and/or israeli/ romanian dark cave dwellers fiddling, burning and bloodying the world with their tongue in cheek. Everytime I see Netanyahu he seems to have a smirk on his face. I think he sees the humor and iron...

Everybody is a nobody

-
Everybody is a nobody Democracy is a horse race without any winner. What we should be doing is making sure that the political philosophy of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, both Clintons, and even the beloved black president, whose name escapes me at the moment, oh yeah, Barack Obama, all of whom have betrayed the modern world, which needs to escape the suffocating prison-like  void all the greedy, selfish, and godless men who mimic and expose themselves in a mirror.  Israel looks like a desolate place from every angle. America failed in Korea, failed in Vietnam, failed in Afghanistan, failed in Iraq, and now we are failing in Israel and in the war of economic reprisals. How much failure can Americans take and still do nothing, think nothing is wrong, except the nuisance of having a president with the mentality of a leprechaun? Sorry, Irish, but he's about gold, luck, and four leaf clovers as politics. It's all a bad screenplay of atlas shrugged being acted out Kehlani is the latest ...

Murder is Murder is Murder

-
Murder is murder. It doesn't matter that two are Jews and two are Palestinians. I'm sorry but it doesn't make a difference if one murder is sanctioned by the state and justified by the hate of any one group or another sanctified by conscience. Self defense doesn't extend infinitely out from your wellbeing simply because of your beliefs. I don't believe that the Ten Commandments or the bill of rights came from the mind of God or Man, they came out of centuries and millennia of human experience and since we're a dual nature beast (good along with the bad), both the Ten Commandments and the bill of rights can be and have been commandeered by the greedy and vengeful. It won't last forever but it starts another cycle of violence (of those who have had what's theirs taken) and vengeance (from those who have been victims). Donald trump will die and because those who follow him will die as well, like anyone who follows ignorance blindly, and just like those who ...

A General Strike?

-
http://portside.org/2017-02-06/whose-strike THIS IS A GOOD PIECE,  A General Strike?  'GET SOBER FOLKS' . I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of people discussing this topic right now.  If  the 9th Circuit does right, will Trump ignore the decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian cases of the mid 1830s?   I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead! The way things are going, that Reichstag moment could come sooner than we may have anticipated.  Labor is too weak in numbers and political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge?  Yet, I'm optimistic.  I have visited or done a little work with a few different ...

The Railroad Boys Share a Trailer

-
 Here's a story from my most recent short book- I've Been Working On the Railroad, All the Live Long day Poetry, Prose, and Stories .  You can get the whole 76-page book on Amazon, and although Amazon isn't on my favorite corporation list like it might be on yours, I try to believe I'm like most people and know Amazon, like all the other billionaire owned corporations are doing a hellava lot more damage and mischief than providing a service people generally like. I also know most people plug their noses and get things delivered. So, if you like the story, there's more and I get approx. $3.50 a book, so you can see I'm not expecting much nor getting rich off that. At least that's what's happened so far. (Oh, by the way, there is profanity, and some political incorrectness because thats the way it is in real life, or even in made up life, so if it might bother you, exercise your freedom to decide on your own to continue. There's way too much tattle tai...

Hope is not a real thing

-
  “Nothing’s perfect, Nothing's forever ever, and Nothing's guaranteed.”   In many essays over the last few years I have complained about the democrats complacency about not coming to a consistent regard for (1) accepting that democracy itself is a war between factions and not a gentlemanly protocol riddled process, (2) the definition of "fascism", (3) the definition of "genocide", (4) how america can be a dictatorship even when politicians say it isn't. Now we can question "justice". Since we now have a president that was impeached by the house twice, fomented revolution, pardoned convicted felons based on arbitrary reasoning, dictates by executive disorder, rebels against judicial decrees based on whim and indiscreet power. It didn't start with him though. The use of executive action has been utilized many times by both democratic and republican presidents usually in matters of military "action" since we dont have real wars anym...

The Age of the Gizmo

-
  Technology The age of the gizmo. That starts in the dirt of many nations where children, men, and women scrounge for cobalt, titanium, gold, diamonds and other precious resources, which will be the beginnings of the  The Gizmo connected to the whatchamacallit, inserted into the thingamachig, which when complete, goes to peoria to be hooked up to the gadget, which came from a factory in hoboken, welded to a dogeared sheet, attached via remote control ai to a chip, manufactured in silicon valley, configured and detoxified by a technician in reno nevada, driven to las vegas, stored until further use in a secret facility to be shipped to one of americas proxy nations, usually in the form of a weaponized explosive device. Here's to all the men and women so far detached from what they do, congratulations, you have just built a weapon which will eventually be used to kill, maim, and destroy human flesh or maybe the man, woman, or child who dug in the dirt for a dream of finding the...
